Emma Collins, who was due to have a stall at Winterfest, said: “We had a stall booked, we paid up-front and paid for a hut. We’d bought stock too.

“The attraction is now closed, we can’t get hold of anyone.”

In a follow up email to the Advertiser, a spokesman said organisers had taken down the social media pages, but that the event's website is still running,

“We have not had a contactable phone line, we are afraid we only have contact through email,” they added.

“In regards to the stall-holders all will be reimbursed their rent, however as per our terms and conditions which each stall-holder is made aware of and is required to sign if their application is successful, we can cancel the event under certain circumstances and they are aware of this.”
